TOP-NOTCH SERVICE
There are never enough words to show America’s gratitude for the courage and work of our military men and women. One small token of appreciation shines on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, when active, reserve and retired military can get freebies all day long. Start the day with free breakfast at Perkins Restaurant or Village Inn. Next, grab lunch or dinner at Applebee’s, California Pizza Kitchen, Chili’s, Hamburger Stand, On The Border, Red Robin and others. If you need something sweet, march over to LaMar’s Donuts for a free coffee and donut or Red Lobster for dessert. If you prefer to shop, save an additional percentage off regular-priced merchandise at Rite Aid, Safeway, Walgreens and World Market. Vets can even get a free haircut at Great Clips and free car washes. For a full review of

GROCERY GAINS
Even Whole Foods Market is susceptible to the ebbs and flows of the grocery game. As a result, they’re closing the Capitol Hill location at 900 E. 11th Ave., just as they’re opening a new downtown Denver location. Good news for bargain hunters: For the final weekend of business at the Capitol Hill store, everything on the shelves will be 50 percent off. On Nov. 11 (8 a.m. to 8 p.m.) and Nov. 12 (8 a.m. to noon), you’ll find amazing deals. (The store may close earlier, depending on product availability.) Seasoned smart shoppers will be happy to know you can still use manufacturer’s coupons for even better savings. wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/caphill
